Venstar ACC-TSENWIFI Installation Instructions
model:
ACC-TSENWIFI
Temperature Sensor with Wi-Fi
Installation Instructions
Before you begin the installation:
The
Venstar Configurator App
is needed to configure this sensor.
This App may be downloaded from your mobile device store.
Select a suitable location for the ACC-TSENWIFI sensor. Please note
that the sensor must have good Wi-Fi reception from the access point
it is intended to join. Do not mount in direct sun or direct rain.
Please have handy the Owner’s Manual for the thermostat that will
be paired with the sensor. Venstar thermostats have unique pairing
procedures.
OVERVIEW
This wireless temperature sensor may be used as a room remote temperature sensor, an outdoor temperature sensor, a return air
temperature sensor or a supply air temperature sensor.
The ACC-TSENWIFI is equipped with an onboard temperature sensor. An external sensor, such as the duct sensor included in the
ACC-TSENWIFI box, may be connected to the rear terminals of the ACC-TSENWIFI as an option. For accurate temperature sensing
the 10k thermistor must adhere to the table on page 3.
Venstar thermostats vary by model in the way they can use remote sensors. This includes averaging, control to, or monitoring features.
Please consult the Owner’s Manual of the thermostat that you are going to pair this sensor with to understand its capabilities and
pairing procedure.
This sensor is compatible with all Venstar Wi-Fi thermostats that contain the latest firmware. Please consult Venstar.com for a complete
listing of compatible thermostats.
Note: This sensor must be connected to the same local network as the thermostat(s) that will use the sensor data.
